[1] LORD, you were good to your land. You blessed the people of Jacob with great success again. [2] You forgave the evil things your people did. You took away all their sins. [3] You stopped being angry with them. You turned your great anger away from them. [4] God our Savior, make us new again. Stop being unhappy with us. [5] Will you be angry with us forever? Will you be angry for all time to come? [6] Won’t you give us new life again? Then we’ll be joyful because of what you have done. [7] LORD, show us your faithful love. Save us. [8] I will listen to what God the LORD says. He promises peace to his faithful people. But they must not turn to foolish ways. [9] I know he’s ready to save those who have respect for him. Then his glory can be seen in our land. [10] God’s truth and faithful love join together. His peace and holiness kiss each other. [11] His truth springs up from the earth. His holiness looks down from heaven. [12] The LORD will certainly give what is good. Our land will produce its crops. [13] God’s holiness leads the way in front of him. It prepares the way for his coming.
